My tomato appears shiny, I can't get rid of it. I tried fertilising and watering and nothing works.

Do you know what variety it is?
How much natural sunight does it get?
What are the temperatures night and day where it’s growing?
What type of fertilizer are you using?
When you say shiny , do you mean that the leaves are shiny or the new growth is a little bit more pale than the other leaves , or what?

Check your watering for either over or under-watering.
You want consistently moist soil. The consistency of used coffee grounds. Not too dry…not too wet. If you grab a handful of soil and squeeze…you want it to just barely hold together. If it’s at all dripping water…you’re over-watering. If it won’t clump together at all…your soil is too dry. Excessive rain can cause over-watering.
If you’re unsure about whether you are over or under-watering…get an inexpensive water meter to help you. Many problems that we can have with our tomatoes can often come down to watering issues.

What do you mean by “shiny?” Do you mean the plant itself, the actual tomato’s, the leaf’s? Please be a little more specific with your symptoms.
